Consider the following mechanism: What kind of reaction is occurring during this step of glycolysis? What metabolite is in Box 1? What metabolite is in Box 2? What metabolite is in Box 3? What enzyme catalyzes this reaction? Circle and label one place on the mechanism where covalent catalysis is occurring. Suggest an amino acid that could fill the role of residue “A” in the mechanism above and draw its structure at pH 7.4. Suggest an amino acid that could fill the role of residue “B” in the mechanism above and draw its structure at pH 7.4. Under standard conditions, this reaction is unfavorable (DG¢° = 23.8 kJ/mol). What conditions in the cell allow for the actual free energy change to be lower (DG » 0), making the reaction readily reversible? Explain your answer. *please help and explain as well as you can*

Here is still another lipid-related question. a. Draw the structure of a soap molecule, derived from a myristic acid triglyceride. No sticks. You CAN bunch the CH2 groups together. b. Write the COMPLETE AND BALANCED reaction for your soap reacting with hard water containing Fe*. NO STICKS! c. Describe what you would see if you used a detergent (rather than a soap) in the presence of Fe*. The more detail you give, the more points you will earn. No reactions are needed here.

Two therapeutics, methotrexate and fluorouracil, inhibit the formation of dTMP, at different points in the synthesis. One is a suicide inhibitor and one is a competitive inhibitor. a. What therapeutic applications are there for inhibiting the synthesis of dTTP? (ie. What are they treating?) b. Identify the which molecule is the competitive inhibitor and which one is the suicide inhibitor and explain how you know.

create a detailed flow chart or diagram that will illustrate all the important features of the glycolytic pathway. I want you to place in your flow chart or diagram the following important information like: 1. the reactants and products of each step, 2. enzymes involved in each step, 3. important by-products generated in some steps, 4. type of the reaction of each step, 5. and the outline of the two stages of the pathway. Also, discuss briefly (4 sentences) how Galactose and Fructose enter the glycolytic pathway.
You have discovered a new enzyme that has a nearly identical active site to chymotrypsin. This new enzyme uses the same catalytic triad and the same reaction mechanism as chymotrypsin. Your new enzyme differs from chymotrypsin because it cuts peptides at the C terminus of polar, non- ionizable R groups. A) Beginning with the first tetrahedral intermediate, draw the mechanism of catalysis that occurs to cleave the tripeptide Asn- Phe- Lys substrate ending your answer with the product and free enzyme. B) From the list below, which of the components would most likely be found in the area of the enzyme that substitutes the hydrophobic pocket of chymotrypsin? Very briefly explain your choice(s): Ser ile Zn+ Val C) You've constructed a molecule that is able to bind to the 1st tetrahedral intermediate of your new enzyme, preventing catalysis. From experimental results, you can see that this molecule is only able to bind to the tetrahedral intermediate. Assuming that this enzyme follows…

The reaction in which glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) is converted to fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) is an example of an isomerization reaction. Notice that both molecules have the molecular formula C6H13O9P. The isomerization is catalyzed by glucose 6-phosphate isomerase. This is a reversible reaction in cells, with a moderately negative ΔG, but a very high activation energy. If you have a flask that contains a solution containing cellular concentrations of G6P and F6P, but no enzyme, how will the concentration of each molecule change over time?
